Chapter 112 Extending the Country

The battle of Fashun lasted for nine months, which was much earlier than He Ran expected. Shi Lang had also planned to fight for a year or two. The smooth capture of Kaiqing City was a surprise, which greatly shortened the process.

The White House Bo still hasn't been caught, which is a little lacking. Yi Jun is still trying his best to search and arrest, but He Ran feels that he is probably no longer in Shun's territory. According to the current situation, he has mostly fled to the State of Zhao,

The five uncles of Houyu and a group of party members were all killed, paying tribute to the unlucky Shunwang,

According to He Ran's instructions, Su Pingjiang returned the Kaiqing City and the seven surrounding cities to Houyu, which was regarded as not to destroy his country, but he did not let Houyu go back immediately. On the pretext that the chaotic party had not been eliminated, he was allowed to temporarily live in Mingzhong City.

Houyu has been trembling and always worried that he will be killed. Naturally, he bowed his head and dared not disagree with King Yi's decision.

After another month, under the urging of Fan Wang's several envoys, He Ran had no choice but to go to Wuya to meet him.

After meeting each other, Fan Wang Meiyu was worried, but He Ran couldn't help laughing. He tilted his head and looked at him and said, "Brother finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to enter the Central Plains. How can he return this appearance?"

Fan Wang stared at him unhappily and said, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you. Help me find a way. People are thinking about it. There are few people who are willing to stay. If it goes on like this, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no chaos."

He Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, I think I'm happy in the Central Plains."

The king pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not used to it, but in general, it's okay. When the people submit, I think it will be better. Now the most important thing is how to make my people stay willingly."

He Ran shook his body slightly and said, "I thought about it for my brother, but it's not easy to do. Most of the people in the grassland are resistant to the Central Plains, and their lifestyles are also different. They are used to grazing and galloping. Suddenly, no one can stand it in the small city. There are many mountains and forests here, so they can't graze too many cattle and sheep. Instead, they cultivate... "..." He shook his head. "It's not done overnight."

Fan Wang was depressed and said, "I have thought about these before, and I didn't plan to move too many people at the beginning. I thought that I could come little by little, but I didn't expect that few people were willing to stay from top to bottom."

He Ran picked up the tea cup and blew the tea leaves floating on the water, with a faint smile on his face. He didn't say anything and just shook his head slightly,

The king looked at him and warned, "Others can see my jokes, but you can't. I can tell you that if you can't think of a good way, you can't leave this five cliff city. I'm not reasonable as a brother."

He Ran put down the tea cup and said without panic, "What's the idea? I have one, but I'm afraid to say it..."

"We are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and we have an alliance of life and death together. What else do you have to worry about when talking to me?"

He Ran no longer shook his body and said calmly, "In fact, I have thought of the current situation for a long time. It is my brother who admires the education of the Central Plains too much that he thinks about everything on the good side. It is by no means a thing that can be done overnight. You have to take your time."

"It's already here. You can't let me go back like this."

He Ran smiled and said, "How can so many land and cities be cheap for us? Although I am greedy, I dare not calculate my brother. I think so. My brother can lend us most of the area and take care of it for the time being. The taxes collected every year are divided equally between the two families, so that the brother can avoid the worries of governing the people and get a large amount of benefits. More importantly, you can act calmly. This five cliff city is the largest city here. My brother can designate it as the western capital and live here for three or five months a year. In this way, my men know that they can go back in a short time, and they can stay for a few months at ease. In the future, they can gradually lengthen their stay and move at the same time. If the people go to the grassland, they can speed up the integration of the people on both sides. The land they lent to us can be taken back at any time. I asked the king to sign the petition with you. What do you think?

After listening to this, Fan Wang got up and started. After a while, he stopped in front of him and said, "That's the only way to do it. Alas, you're right. I was a little wishful thinking before. Finally, you helped me solve the dilemma. I can't believe those things. I I only believe you. You and my brother said it's settled.

He Ran smiled and said, "That's not good. There's no evidence for such a big thing. You're not afraid that my younger brother has a lot of time. This place will come back."

King Fan blamed: "Nonsense, don't talk nonsense. I'm willing to lend the land for you. If you don't want to pay it back in the future, just send it to your brother. If others dare to deny this account, they have to ask me if the machete in his hand will agree. If I don't talk about this, it's settled. I won't do it. It's so troublesome."

He Ran smiled and said, "Okay, but if you want to live in the Central Plains for a long time, you have to change your own grassland habits first."

The king patted him affectionately and said, "You are my brother. You still have more grassland habits with you. For others, I have to learn to follow the rules of the Central Plains."

He Ran unfolded the geographical map and said, "Then mark the ground. How much do you want to stay?"

Fan Wang casually drew from the grassland to the five cliff city and said, "Just leave the city along the way. Now the more worry-free it is, the better. I'll ask you when it's not enough in the future."

He Ran said while collecting the geographical map, "Okay, I will also leave the cities around Wuya City for you. There must be a place to station troops."

King Fan looked at him unhappily and said, "What am I doing here? My brother is the military commander of the State of Yi, and my brother-in-law is the order. The soldiers and horses of the whole country are in your hands. Is it possible to prevent you two from attacking me?"

He Ran hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, but when you come here, you have to bring at least a few thousand people to prevent bandits and thieves. You can't put all the safety on our heads. I'm a lazy person. Don't let me worry about these things."

"This doesn't bother you. Fortunately, I urged you and thought of such a strategy for me. You don't know how anxious I am these days. I haven't been so anxious about the previous war. I'll arrange it, so that those who cry and shout to go back will go back."

He Ran hurriedly said, "Don't let them go. My brother has to keep some people to maintain it for a while. We are too busy now, and it will take a year and a half to transfer officials to take over. Those people under you know that it should be more stable than now when they go back. Let them take turns to be on duty here and put it back. Half of the people should not ask the question.

Fan Wang said, "I'm thinking about this for you. Let me tell you, I have to go back to the grassland in a few days. When the winter comes, it will be taken care of by my second brother Adar and Hong Konger. If there is anything, you can contact them directly."

He Ran nodded, pulled him up and said, "Let's go."

The king asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"

"Go for a drink. Anyway, if I don't say it, you have to say it. It's better to take the initiative, so that you don't say that I'm not good enough."

Fan Wang laughed and said, "That's right. Fa Shun is done. You have to drink this wine happily."
